Roots Tech 2015 First Day

My highlight for #RootsTech on the first day was the Roots Tech Opening Social. This event was sponsored by Forever.com and featured the very talented Alex Boye‘ along with the One Voice Children’s Choir and Lexi Walker. You may remember them from this little number that has received over 61 million hits on YouTube:

Alex Boye’ is one of my favorite singers and I love his story. During his performance he told of how when he was a 16 year old homeless young man on the streets of London a man gave him a lemon which turned out to be one of the greatest blessings he would ever receive. At the time he was angry because he was hungry and needed food but later in life he realized the message he was to take from that little interlude – “When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade.”

The first day of Roots Tech ended with a smash performance and a little life lesson as well.

Check out this little clip. This little girl had my attention all evening. I am sure it will make you smile. 🙂
